Vessel Description

The Arklow Raider is an Irish-flagged general cargo vessel operated by Arklow Shipping Ltd, one of Europe's most prominent short-sea shipping companies headquartered in Arklow, County Wicklow, Ireland. Built in 2006 at the renowned Ferus Smit shipyard in the Netherlands, the vessel is a modern, single-deck general cargo carrier typical of the company's standardised fleet profile.

With a deadweight tonnage of approximately 4,536 DWT and a gross tonnage of 2,999 GT, the Arklow Raider is well-suited for the carriage of bulk cargoes, project cargo, and general freight across Northwest European short-sea trade lanes. Her dimensions allow access to a wide range of smaller regional ports across the Irish Sea, North Sea, and Baltic regions.

The vessel forms part of Arklow Shipping's extensive fleet of modern short-sea traders, a company known for its consistent fleet renewal programme and commitment to operational efficiency across European waters.
